A 2-year-old girl was left fighting for her life after she was struck in the head by a brick that was thrown through her family’s car in Detroit, authorities said.

Little Robyn Rivers was traveling with her mother and grandmother when a man ran out in front of their vehicle, dashed back onto the sidewalk and threw a brick at them about 10:10 p.m. Wednesday on the I-75 service drive, Detroit Police told reporters.

The brick crashed through the car’s rear window and struck Robyn in the head, fracturing the child’s skull, her mother Barbara Rose said.

“It was just blood pouring out; I didn’t know what it was,” Rose told WDIV-TV. “I thought they had shot my daughter in the head.”

The suspect is described as a thin man with a fade haircut and a thin mustache, according to reports. He is believed to be between the ages of 17 and 21, standing between 5-foot-7 and 5-foot-8, and was reportedly last seen wearing a red hoodie and white pants.

Police said they are also investigating reports of kids throwing rocks, which may be related to Wednesday’s incident.
